Trans activist ‘bullies’ stop donations for schoolchildren

[spontaneousgiventime]

A feminist group concerned about the social pressure placed on children to become transgender has had its fundraising stopped after a “bullying” campaign by trans activists.

Transgender Trend said it was considering taking legal action against activists for claiming that a resource pack that it publishes for schools was “transphobic”, included “hate speech” and was “a modern edition of Mein Kampf”.

One of the cores of feminism has been that women, not men, decide what is best for women. So why isn't it equally the case that trans groups are best placed to decide what is best for trans children?

For the same reason doctors do not diagnose themselves and lawyers who represent themselves have a fool for a client.

Article 'Schools urged to ignore ‘dangerous’ gender guidance'
re Transgender Trend's School pack:

But the LGBT charity Stonewall, which advises hundreds of English schools, said the guidance is “packed with factually inaccurate content” and warned schools they “must have nothing to do with this deeply damaging publication”.

Hannah Kibirige, Stonewall’s director of education and youth, said the document not only “fails to reflect the real experiences of trans young people”, but “actively encourages schools to take steps that risk them falling foul of their legal duties and duty of care to pupils”.

“The idea that listening to young people and taking steps to make them feel included might encourage them to be trans is quite simply a myth,” she added.

they “must have nothing to do with this deeply damaging publication”.

Or else what?

article continues:
"Kibirige said increasing numbers of schools are “welcoming, safe places for young people who are trans, or who simply don’t conform to the gender stereotypes society expects of them”, and warned the guidance would create confusion.

“As more schools open themselves to learning about how to be trans inclusive, there is a hunger for information from teachers, school staff and others involved in education,” she said.

“That’s why the ‘schools resource pack’ produced by Transgender Trend this week is so dangerous. Masquerading as professional, ‘evidence-based’ advice for schools on how to ‘support trans and gender-nonconforming young people’, the pack in fact provides the reverse. It is a deeply damaging document, packed with factually inaccurate content.”

Unlike the Stonewall and Mermaids who are committed to nipping homosexuality in the bud by transitioning all gender non conforming children.
We see you.

"Meanwhile I’ve been pointed to @stonewalluk’s “response” to the document, which, while it doesn’t allege hate speech, includes literally no evidence for the claims it does make, about “dangerous” errors etc. Amazing."
